hush small child dont you see

you can be anything you want to be?

you can be anything

anything at all

but listen clostly because this is what you are

 

your only one child in a world so harsh

only one child like a spec in the mush

 

you may be strong and you may be tough 

but im giveing you a lable and its all you can be

ill say you have freedom

but freedom isnt free

 

ill tell you what you have to be

you have to be bold you can not be strong

what are you saying? 

that what im saying is wrong?

 

but im older then you child 

so you have no say

your stuck with me child

you cant be a child you have to be tough

but i tell you child you cant grow up

you have to stay inoccent you have to stay young

 

im trying to protect you 

im showing my love.

 

how is what your doing showing your love?

your traping me in 

your holding me down

you want me to be you 

but im nowhere to be found

 

you said i could be anything anything i want 

then gave me a lable and said i wont

i have to be bold i cant be shy?
